Chapter 657: The Second Battle of Dadonggou (11)

"Puff puff ......"

Dozens of torpedoes were fired by submarines, and the Japanese cruisers did not notice at all, and enemy submarines appeared even a hundred meters away. Their attention was also focused on the battleships of Taiwan, and they had long forgotten about submarines. And they didn't think that Taiwan's submarines would attack them here, because this was already the center of the battle, and the submarines would be easily injured by mistake if they came over. And they don't know that the submarine forces are already planning to sacrifice themselves this time in exchange for the sinking of their cruisers.

"Not good, there are torpedoes!" Immediately an observer from above the Japanese cruiser shouted.

"What? Torpedoes, how can torpedoes be so close? โ€

"Yes! It's so close, dodge! โ€

The cruisers began to dodge everywhere, but a hundred meters was too close, and there was not much distance between the launch of the torpedo and the arrival of their target. No matter how slow the speed of torpedoes in this era is, that is, the speed of more than a dozen knots, they are so close that a mere hundred meters can reach it in less than a minute. In this way, when they are attacked at such a close range, they will naturally face the result of being hit by a torpedo.

"Boom!" A torpedo hit a Japanese cruiser, and then they sank right away.

However, on the other hand, Taiwan's submarines are also not very good.

"Poofโ€”"

The submarine that fired the torpedo was also hit by the huge shock wave from the torpedo it itself, and their armor was not thick, and then they began to get into the water a little.

"Hurry up and drain the water!" The captain of the submarine shouted.

"Cards!"

The submarine began to deform under the huge water pressure, but at this time everyone couldn't take care of it, and everyone began to desperately activate the pressure drainage system, and then the damage pipe hurriedly went to plug the loophole. The loopholes must be closed. Otherwise, they would have suffered a lot of losses, and maybe everyone would have sunk.

"Shall we give up?" Someone asked right away.

The captain looked at it and said, "Soon an enemy cruiser is coming near us, and we will fight with them!" Anyway, we're only fifteen of us, but if we can bring in hundreds of would-be widows to accompany the funeral, that's pretty good. Lord Wang will not treat us badly. We were tasked with killing as many enemies as possible. And now we have only fired one torpedo, but we are going to pull another cruiser into the water. โ€

"Okay, let's fight with them!" The submariners immediately shouted.

Soon, these submariners actually began to float immediately, and then desperately turned on the diesel engine to the maximum. This would not normally be allowed, and now they started their engines and rushed towards a Japanese cruiser that was about to come to the rescue of the Japanese sailors who had fallen overboard.

"Oh no, what do they want to do?" The captain of another Japanese cruiser exclaimed.

He originally wanted to come over to rescue the overboard soldiers on his side, but at this time, the submarine actually took the initiative to float. Then, instead of dodging them, he rushed over. It was originally very close, but now it is even closer. The torpedoes in the submarine were soon fired again, this time at a distance of only about fifty meters, a distance that drove the Japanese cruisers crazy.

"Hurry up and dodge, dodge! Hit with a pistol and knock out the torpedo! The captain of the Japanese cruiser said angrily.

But at this time, the submarine continued to rush up. And then went on to fire a torpedo, not caring about anything at all. If you follow this distance. Even if the torpedo hits the enemy's ship, the submarine itself will definitely be broken by the huge water pressure shock wave generated by this torpedo, and then sink to the bottom of the sea together. This is an absolute and all-in-one tactic, so they can't afford to lose!

"We can't afford to lose this naval battle! We can only fight hard, even if one is for another. That's what we're worthy. Only if we can win this naval battle can we truly win. This time, Lord Wang said that this naval battle is the beginning of the rise of China, and if we lose, then China will have no hope of rising at all. So. Even if we try our best, we will have to pull down those Japanese navies as backs. โ€

"Puff ......"

Both torpedoes were also fired again, and together they hit the Japanese cruiser.

"Boom!"

At such a close distance, the hit was almost certain, so the Japanese cruiser also sank. However, the submarine that was firing torpedoes at a distance of 50 meters was also blown to pieces by this violent explosion, and if there was no accident, more than a dozen naval submariners would have survived.

Qiu Baoren, chief of staff of the Navy, who saw this scene with a telescope on the flagship, said with emotion: "It seems that as long as our Chinese soldiers are still bloody, then our China will never be conquered." What Lord Wang said is right, what we lack in China is not any science and technology, not some powerful weapon, but a heart to resist to the end. In the past, under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we did not have this heart, but under the leadership of Lord Wang, our soldiers had a heart to resist to the end. Willing to fight the enemy desperately, willing to fight for his life. We won this naval battle! โ€

On the other side, Taiwanese destroyers were besieging the Japanese battleships, but the destroyers had suffered a lot of losses.

"Commander Sa Zhenbing, our destroyers have lost more than twenty ships, all of which were hit by the enemy's secondary guns. Moreover, there are not many destroyers and torpedoes. Quite a few destroyers, and there are only one or two torpedoes left, what should we do? If we don't think about it, once our destroyers fall into a situation without torpedoes, then we will not be able to stop these Japanese battleships from breaking through our encirclement. Once we don't have torpedoes, we're probably not going to be able to trap them. โ€

"Let them figure it out. If not, then retreat, if the battle continues, it is not certain who will kill us! Even if we have a decisive battle with the Japanese warships at this time, then we may not lose! Sa Zhenbing said.

"I also received a telegram just now that the enemy's cruiser has been sunk by us. At this time, the Japanese no longer had cruisers, and could not form a multi-ship joint operation, so we had enough advantages in battleships, so we didn't have to be afraid of them. It's a big deal, that is, the loss is bigger. Sa Zhenbing said.

However, when Sa Zhenbing ordered the destroyers to retreat, some of the destroyers did not choose to retreat.

"Captain, we only have two torpedoes left, and we are told from above to retreat as we see fit! If we retreat at this time, we still have a relatively large chance of winning. โ€

But when the captain of the destroyer heard this, he immediately asked, "Is that just a bigger chance of winning?" โ€

"Yes, we have a better chance of winning, because their cruisers have already been sunk by our submarine forces. However, the submarine forces have also suffered heavy losses, and six submarines have been sunk out of more than a dozen submarines. The rest are also incapable of fighting. But the good thing is that we've already knocked out their cruisers, which adds a lot of weight to our victory. โ€

The captain of the destroyer immediately said, "Take the men from the boat!" โ€

"Captain, what do you mean by that?"

"I'm going to fight these people. If submarines can be sacrificed to add weight to our victory, then why can't I? We didn't have a lot of torpedoes, so I drove the boat near them and fired torpedoes, so that the hit rate could be much higher. As long as we can fight out an enemy battleship again, then we will make a lot of money. โ€

"What? Captain, are you crazy? If you do this, let's not talk about whether you can succeed or not, but if you do this, you will die! โ€

"I know that if we can trade our lives for the road to victory, then what does it matter if we can pave the way with my corpse? You take people with you, and quickly take most of the officers and men of the navy with you, so that they can all leave. You are our seed, and we cannot be wiped out. I'm the captain of a ship, so naturally I have to live and die with the warship. โ€

"Captain!"

"Let's go quickly, at this time we don't go to fight, who is going to fight? We can't afford to lose this naval battle! This time it is related to whether Lord Wang can successfully seize the Central Plains, and then it is more related to whether our China can rise again. So even if I can increase the probability of victory even in the slightest bit, then I will do it with all my might. โ€

"Captain, I'll follow you!" "We're all with you, too!" โ€ฆโ€ฆ

However, in the end, it was decided to draw lots, and whoever drew the lottery left. When there were more than twenty destroyers left in the end, they rushed to the Japanese flagship as fast as they could, and then hoped to be able to get close to firing torpedoes, and fought for the battleship.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a destroyer of the Chinese is rushing towards us."

When Ito saw this, he immediately said angrily: "Hurry up and knock him out for me, I can't let them get close to our battleship." Once we get them close to our battleship, we're done. โ€

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

All kinds of rapid-fire weapons were fired at the destroyer, and the destroyer was desperately trying to dodge, and then they wanted to get close to the enemy within a hundred meters before firing the torpedo, so that the hit rate could be very huge.

"Boom!"

A secondary shell hit the destroyer directly, and the destroyers suddenly became a fireball and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Amaterasu bless ......," Ito said.

However, Ito immediately received another report.

"Your Excellency, there are quite a few destroyers of the Chinese people, rushing towards our battleship. They're going to fight us hard. (To be continued.) )
